I'd like to see options for kitting out assault oriented platoons (shotguns & 2 special weapons, or laspistol & CCW & 2 special weapons).
I'd like to see the return of "Veteran Upgrades" or some other regimental customization feature so that Valhallans, Cadians, and Mordians can actually play a little bit differently in the field.
I'd like to see the variable squad strengths and alternate platoon organization options included in the Codex (detachable officers, etc.).
I'd like some clarification as to what happens if an officer or a Commisar is the "last man standing" in his squad (do they check morale every turn, or do they become IC's? They need to clarify this for every army actually)
I'd like to see heavy weapon squads included as part of the Tactical Platoon rather than as part of a separate HQ platoon (for each Heavy squad, take a 25 to 55 man platoon to screen it). I'd like them to lift the limits on how many of each heavy weapon squad one is allowed to take.
I'd like to see an alternate transport option (a cheap truck-normal speed is okay) or some special transport options (Gorgon's would be nice-heavy armor, can carry a whole platoon).
I'd like to see varying levels of experience among troops. (Players could choose PDF with BS3, WS2, Ld 6, or Regular Guard with BS3, WS3, Ld7, or Veteran Guard with BS4, WS3, Ld
Players choose on a platoon by platoon basis.
I'd like to see Command HQ's have the option to equip the Guardsmen/bodyguards in Carapace Armor if that is what the commander is wearing. These bodyguards should also have a Stormtrooper's statline.
I'd like to see the return of White Shields, Penal Legionaires, and Human Bombs. I wouldn't mind seeing some bikes added to the list.
I'd like to see Heavy Flamers, and Demolition Charges in the main IG list.
I'd like the options of including a medic in each platoon HQ, and for that medic to be able to affect any single model within 12" (instead of only helping out his own squad).
I'd like to see the ForgeWorld vehicles included in the main codex list, where appropriate.
I'd like to see the lascannon upgrade for Sentinels and the exceptions to the Hellhound's "all glances penetrate" rule incorporated into the main codex as well.
I'd like to see Combat Engineers/Sappers added to the list, as well as the snipers that the Catachan Codex gave us.
I'd like to see Armored Company, Steel Legion, Deathworld, Rough Rider, PDF, & Stormtrooper lists included in the same codex so that all the rules are in one place, clearly written and easier to access.
Let's not even get into rules changes.. . (move & shoot all weapons on vehicles, even at the cost of requiring a to-hit roll for ordinance... the list can go on!)
